Description:
In my work as an animal portrait artist, and I love painting colourful, lively portraits of cows, pets and British wildlife. I want each painting to capture the warmth, humour and individuality of my subjects, so I use bold brushstrokes and soft pastel tones to bring out their charm and personality. I like to combine realistic detail with a little creative freedom, and I often paint my animals against simple, solid backgrounds so the focus stays on their expression and character. My work celebrates the joy of companionship and the beauty of rural life, and I hope every piece brings a little warmth and happiness into people’s homes.
